Bounding box in the way

I hope someone can help me with this. I'm using the Direct Selection Tool to edit a vector path but wanting to do so without a bounding box getting in the way. In Illustrator you can toggle the bounding box off/on, but seemingly not so in InDesign (I'm missing something here, aren't I?). I've checked Adobe's Video Workshop "vid0070: Making Selections" and Anne-Marie is clearly editing her vector path without a bounding box. But how?
All suggestions gratefully received.

Hi Peter
I've included a screen shot with a newly drawn path. As you can see, with the the Direct Selection Tool in operation, it's now okay. No Bounding box around it as there would if the Selection Tool itself were selected. It wasn't doing this, which is why I started the thread in the first place – don't ask me why, except hazarding a guess, it was something to do with the Object Style setting.
Thanks for the Preferences file suggestion. Actually, I ditched it once a few weeks back because the Text Wrap pallette was behaving oddly. It cured that problem. I'll see how this goes over the next few days.

Is there a way of resizing the contents of multiple bounding boxes at the same time using the number fields in the tool bar?

I'musing cs6 and need to resize an image and two text boxes to a specific pixel width.
I try selecting all of the boxes and punching in 960 px in the resizing field in the tool bar but only the bounding boxes and not their contents get resized...

Use the horizontal scale field (and include the units) rather than the width field.

Can PB can calcute the bounding box as the needed region in AE?

Hi,
I wrote many small pixel bender that I use mainly in AE. However I need them to be as efficient as possible, so I wonder if Pixel Bender can obtain the bounding box of an image input as the needed region. This way, it will not calculate an entire frame when there is only a few pixels in the frame.
Thanks

Hi,
I did a major breakthrough by rethinking the model. Now I get a real speed improvment, and if the image is fully opaque, there is not too much drawback.
Instead of a simple bounding box, I'm creating a grid in which each cell represent a region of the source and is float4(1). if there is any non-zero transparent pixel. In the last kernel of the graph, i'm processing only when the corresponding value in the grid is float4(1.). I get really efficient results from that. I'm including two graphs. A basic one with a fixed grid of 16px (I didn't do any beanchmark for the grid size) where I output the original image composited over the scaled grid in green. The second one, where the last kernel is a box blur, the grid size equal the blur radius, and there is a convolution kernel between the grid and the box blur that expand the grid to fit the blur.

Can see the bounding box of the object present on the art-board but the colors of that object are not visible!!!! Why???

I have made some objects in 8-bit design style using rectangular grid tool.
I was working on the file, and i saved the file, and then illustrator crashed, and all the data in the 8 bit grid wasn't showing up, only the bounding boxes(rectangular-grid) of those 8-bit designed objects were present with no color/no fill.
I am attaching some screenshots and jpegs to show how it was before and how it is now.
Can somebody help me out in this?

Illustrator crashed when saving and most probably took some of your file with it.
Do you have a backup copy?

All I see is bounding boxes in the Canvas window

I finally decided it was time I learned to use Motion.
I opened up a tutorial, but all I can see in the canvas window is bounding boxes, similar to wireframe mode in FCP and other programs.
If I make a RAM Preview, I can see the actual project - but the second I make an adjustment, I'm back to the wireframe.
Not useful.
I've done all the normal things - like trash the motion preferences.
What am I missing?
thanks!

I fixed the problem. An earlier post with a similar problem fixed it by making their secondary video/graphic card the output for their main monitor.
I tried this and now everything works fine.

Wierd window box all the way around my 16:9 footage

Hey,
Editing my feature using Final Cut Pro 5.1. When I export a sequence ot Quicktime I get this window like boarder all around. Why is this and how can I fix this? Footage is 16:9.
Chris

Check in main menu>sequence >settings that everything is set for 16:9 ratio.
What format did you shot on? What format do you choose to export? Do you see a letterbox in the canvas or full screen 16:9?

Is it possible to create patterns without the swatch bound box. the shape is hexagon and I want to stack brick style directly on top of each other.

.

While it's true that AI only works with square tiles internally, the pattern editing mode in CS6 still would allow you to create hexagon patterns.
Check out the manual on how to use the pattern editing mode.

Is there a way to tighten a text bounding box?

Hey all,
I've looked before but never found a definitive answer to this question:
Is there a way to tighten the text bounding box without converting it to outlines?
I work for a screen printer, and want to figure out a way to tighten the bounding box without changing the leading and without converting it to outlines in order to be able to edit said text. We deal with a lot of clients who send us names, that are often misspelled, and after an initial proof need to be corrected. Sometimes we need to center this text to an object.
Illustrator's bounding box, unlike that of Corel (which is our primary program, and won't open AI files) includes the leading below the type, so when you center it, it's not visually centered:
So I guess my real question is is there a way to get the text centered (as seen below) without converting the text to outlines, or messing with the leading, or is there a way to tighten the bounding box?
Thanks in advance!
-K

Combat and Dandreu,
You may use this silly way:
1) Tick Edit>Preferences>General>Use Preview Bounds;
2) Select the Type and Effect>Path>Outline Object.
That will reduce the Bounding Box to the actual bounds of the letters so you can centre as you wish.
Remember to untick Edit>Preferences>General>Use Preview Bounds before you get a reverse issue.

Edge detection between the finiteelement mesh and a bounding box

i have an finite element mesh ,i constucuted a bounding box which passes through the mesh ,so now i want to detect the edge of the rectangle which intersects the mesh and construct a new mesh which resides in the rectangular box.how to do this.any kind of help is appreciated.

suppose ABCD is FEMesh, PQRS is a bounding box,consider the edge PS when it intersect with the elements in the mesh i will get the pentagon element when i want to form the new mesh which contains the elements which are inside the box.the graphical represenation is not clear if you draw on a paper you can easily understand my problem.
now how to create a new mesh from the elements which reside inside the boxin which the left hand side of PS will be discarded and RHS of QR edge is discarded,so now mesh will have some zigzag shape i think.so please help me out how to solve this problem.

i think the figure is not clear , so i want to
simplify the problem by considering only one element
of the mesh and only one edge of the box.Okay.
suppose ABCD
is a 3D quadrilateral element and PQ is the edge
passing through the element.i will pass a function
with coordinates of ABCD and P (startpoint of
edge)coordinate and its normal vector,if there is an
intersection the function should return 2 elements
according to intersection
now we have element ABCD and an edge with P and its
normal vector,now we have intersection between element
and edge from p at X and Y, now the algorithm should
return AXYD as one element and XBCY as second
element.please help me out in solving this task.
Thanks in advance.I'll assume you mean 2D, planar, linear quad. I think the general 3D problem would entail surfaces and be much more difficult. If you use higher order shape functions the 2D problem isn't trivial, because then you might have more than two intersections.
It COULD return two points of intersection, but you'll have to be careful about special cases:
(1) The edge could intersect just one of the four corners,
(2) The edge could coincide with an edge of the element,
(3) The edge could miss the element entirely and not intersect.
You'll have to decide what to do in the degenerate cases. The sensible thing would be to do nothing and leave the element alone.
You'll also be concerned about mesh quality when you're done. Near degenerate elements won't perform well when you analyze them. Will you try to correct these after the fact?
What if you end up with triangular elements? An edge might slice off a triangle and leave you with a five-noded element. What will you do with those? Create two triangles to get back to a quad? It's not so easy. You really should look into quadtree meshing. There are more general ways to attack a problem like this.
What kind of physics are you ultimately trying to capture? What are you really doing here?
You've described the algorithm fairly well, even if you haven't thought it all the way through.
What's the problem? You'll have to write the code. No one will do that for you. Write some and come back with specific questions if you have difficulties. This is a Java forum, after all.

Changing the bounding box size

When I go to print an image in Photoshop CC, a dialogue box appears and on the left-hand side is the image to be printed. Bordering the image are small diagonal lines which I'm assuming are the bounding box. The distance between the edge of the page varies from side to side and I want to center the photo. I can't see how to do that.
Thanks.

The print dialog preview area show basically three areas. The Paper size the printer is set to and the sizes are displayed with numeric unites. If you see small diagonal lines these are showing the areas the printer can not print on with the current settings. With different printer setting this area may change for example if the printer support borderless the side non printable may go way but there still be some top and bottom non printable area. The Bottom non printable area may go away if you switch from sheet feed to roll paper feed. Inside the diagonal line is the printable area and inside that a bounding box of the image. If You check scale for media the image will be scaled to fit within the print area.

How do I get rid of the dotted line on right side of bounding box

Ever since I upgraded to CS5, I seem to have a broken dotted line along the right side of the bounding box of the png logo that was created for my company. It wasn't there before. I've gone back to my original back up of the logo and this broken line is in all the versions now.
Whenever I use the artwork a single dash/dotted line is left on the far right, where the right vertical line of the bounding box would have been. You can see it in the image below on the right. Its a faint white line but when printed on a banner its stark white. The line falls just above the last "A" in Alberta.
I can use Illustrator and Photoshop basics and but have trouble when I get into problems like this.
Can anyone help me figure out why its there and how to get rid of it?
I would appreciate any help!
Thanks.

Wade and Monica,
Thanks for your help.
Wade, it hit me when you asked "why is it a png" file and I realized that I was using the wrong file. Sometimes its hard to see the forest for the trees! Problem for banner artwork fixed and I have now used the correct logo file so no more dotted line.
The dotted line only appears on the the png version of the logo. There's no coloured background on the logo file. She gave me the file as both an eps and a png file. I'm pretty sure she created the logo in Illustrator. I've been using the png file for the website, which is what I thought it worked well for. And the eps one for my print materials.
I have no clue why I grabbed the png instead of the eps logo file I usually use, but thanks for pointing out the obvious since I wasted time trying to fix it and was getting very frustrated at what had suddenly gone "wrong".
I still have that dotted line on the png file of the logo but I'll have to figure that out another day.
Thanks again!

Can you change the colour of an 'image' bounding box?

This concerns bounding boxes not 'strokes'.
Is it possible to customise the default colour of a bounding box around an image?
I know that the default 'rectangle image frame' matches the Layer colour (eg: Layer 1 - Light Blue, with an the image bounded by a brown box) which is easily changed by moving it to another layer (eg: Layer 2 - Red, which displays an image bounding box of Cyan). What defines the colour of the bounding box of an image that is placed inside the 'rectangle image frame' and can it be changed?
I have no real necessity to change it, I just wondered if it was possible?
Steve

I'm not sure you understand the terminology.
The bounding box is an imaginary rectangle that encloses the shape of an object or group of objects. For a simple graphics frame this is the same size and shape as the frame and is poisitioned on the frame edge (and it's what you see when you select the frame). The bounding box is used for calculating object positioning. When dispalyed, it takes on the color assigned to the layer.
The frame edge is also fictitious. It's a screen display aid that can be tuned on or off to help you locate objects and also uses the color assigned to the layer. It corresponds to the path that describes the edge of the frame, so might not be rectangular (a bounding box is always rectangular).
The stroke is an attribute assigned to the path describing the perimeter of a closed object or the path itself of an open path. Stokes can be assigned a weight, color, and stroke style such as dotted or striped.
An image placed inside a frame has it's own bounding box, but not a frame edge or stroke. To see the image bounding box use the direct select tool to select the image inside the frame. If you crop an image so it is larger than the containing frame, or or enlarge the frame so the image does not completely fill it, you can see the differnce between the bounding boxes very easily. The color of the image bounding box is also tied to the layer color and is not editable by the user.

Forcing onPress to react on the exact shape, rather then on the bounding box

If I have a clip with an imported image then clip.onPress
reacts on the
bounding box of the clip rather then on the exact shape of
the imported
image even if the imported image has a transparent
background.
To make it to react to in image shape only I have to use
Trace BitMap which
results in deterioration of the image quality and if the clip
is moving,
Trace BitMap also slows down computer perfprmance.
Is there other technique to make onPress to react on the
exact shape, rather
then on the bounding box?

An image is always rectangular, it just may have transparent
parts. So an MC containing an image is always as big as the whole
image (at least).
You could use the MovieClip.hitArea property, and create
another MC inside your clip that specifies the active area for
mouse clicks. This is easy if you have the image loaded into the
clip inside the Flash IDE.
If it's loaded on runtime, you might use the BitmapData class
(if you use Flash 8) to get the pixel value of the image at the
position where the image was clicked, check if it's transparent or
opaque, and decide whether to call the onPress action or not.

Can I turn off the "transformation bounding box" feature in CS6?

The Transformation Bounding Box is the resultant "square selection" that includes all selected objects and it bugs me. I found discussions of this in connection to CS5 but I jumped from CS4 to CS6. I can't find a pref anywhere to turn it off.
Does anybody know how?
Thanks for any insight.
Mick

I sure haven't been able to find a pref for it! Looked everywhere…
That's too bad… the same complaint was addressed in CS5 thread I found and one of the Adobe guys provided a link for a feature request. I guess that request was rejected!
C'mon, Adobe… this one seem simple. Please?

Shorten bounding box in form widget...

I created a form, and deleted a few of the extra forms that I had added at the bottom of the widget. I can't seem to shorten the bounding box of the deleted forms at the bottom of my widget. Any way to do that?

JUst look at the different states of the form in the states panel. Perhaps an alert text has remained at its old position And prevents you from minimizing the form
